The Summons: A Selkie Tale Kindle Edition

by Marj W. Ivancic (Author), Lex Hupertz (Illustrator, Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 18
See all formats and editions
Seven tears cried into the sea. Notes of a love song, to summon a selkie.

That is the myth, the yarn the old men spin in the glow of a warm fire on a dark winter night. Such stories are as common as the seals basking on the beaches of their northern Scottish isle. Or so Moire believes. She could never quite identify with the forlorn lasses in those tales. She has everything she could possible need or want in the simple life she and her father have built on the quiet shores.

Until, learning she may be forced to marry a man she does not love, she sheds her own hopeless tears into the cold surf. And the next day, a curious stranger walks out of those same waters.

Everything about Innis calls to Moire; he is as wild and beautiful as her beloved sea. But there's something he's hiding. Is he the salvation he appears to be? Or a danger to her soul? With only seven days' time to decide, will she surrender to the irresistible pull of Innis and his sea or choose to remain on the safe shores of home?

5.0 out of 5 stars Story from the Sea, that is the treasure.
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2018

My heart was captured in this truly remarkable work of historical fiction. The sea holds more than we could ever dream even in a fantasy novel. What the author did was so intricate and classical as to be to me an all time favorite. One to pass down to daughters and sons. It teaches us to follow our heart no matter if our heart is torn between two worlds. I do not want to reveal too much of the story, because my gosh you just have to read it. If you love the sea and romance. You will cherish this book. Extremely well written, edited and formatted. Congratulations Marj, you have given me faith in historical fantasy again. Simply beautiful.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Summons a tale of duty!
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2019

The Summons by Marj Ivancic is a quick read about a daughter's duty, a father's love and dreams. This book is well written but full of grief, regrets, and hope for something different. As a daughter who misses her father I felt many things while reading and mimicked some of the same emotions. The strength of the story is what will draw the reader in and keep them fascinated with the tale within. This author writes with concise and exacting precision and does not allow the reader to get lost within the different storylines. The struggle of guilt, regrets, a daughter's love, and her need to move on while not settling for second best will fascinate you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully written, fascinating story

Before reading this I had never heard of a 'selkie', a mythological being from Scottish folklore. From the first page, I was mesmerized! This is a beautiful, fascinating story about love of different kinds ... love between a parent and a child, romantic love, friendship love, love of nature. The ending moved me to tears.

THE SUMMONS MARJ IVANCIC
MOIRE STOOD AT THE SHORE AFTER GETTING SOME VERY BAD NEWS. SHE CRIED NOT KNOWING THAT SHE HAD SUMMONED SOMETHING FROM THE SEA. A NEW FRIEND INNIS SHOWS UP AND SHE IS DRAWN TO HIM FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON. SOON SHE DISCOVERS WHO AND WHAT HE IS, AND THEY ARE BONDED. THIS WAS IN SOME PLACES VERY SAD AND I FELT I COULD SUMMON MY OWN SELKIE WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF HE WAS AS HOT AS INNIS. THERE WERE MANY CONFLICTS IN THE SHORT STORY THAT KEPT ME GUESSING WHAT WOULD MOIRE DO. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE TALE AND THE AUTHOR DEMONSTRATED HER ABILITY TO WEAVE A COMPELLING STORY. LIKE THE SHADOW AND THE SUGAR BEAN I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE OF MS INVANCICS STORIES. 5 ADORABLE SEAL PUPS FOR THIS STORY.
